Northern Illinois home renovation

One call.
Every trade.

Floors, kitchens, roofs, windows, fireplaces, walkways, landscaping. Tell us what the house needs. We scope it, price it, and run it through to the final walkthrough.

Renovated open-concept great room with a stone fireplace, oak kitchen, beamed ceiling and sliding glass doors to a covered patio

What we do

Whole house,
one point of contact

Most homeowners end up juggling four different companies who never talk to each other. We take that off your plate. One scope, one schedule, one number to call.

Newly installed wide-plank white oak flooring running through a sunlit room

Flooring

Luxury vinyl plank, tile, hardwood and refinishing. Subfloor repair handled before anything goes down.

Remodeled kitchen with oak cabinetry, a quartz island and brass pendant lighting

Kitchens

Cabinets, counters, backsplash, lighting and layout changes. Full gut or a targeted refresh.

Suburban home with a newly installed architectural asphalt shingle roof

Roofing

Tear-off and replacement, storm and hail damage, gutters, soffit and fascia.

Wall of new black-framed replacement windows and a patio door

Windows and doors

Replacement windows, entry doors and patio doors. Usually the first move on a house built before 1980.

Floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a linear gas firebox, oak mantel and built-in shelving

Fireplace installation

New gas and electric fireplace installation, inserts, full surrounds, mantels and stone or tile facing.

Freshly painted interior room with crisp cut lines at the ceiling and baseboard

Interior painting

Whole house or room by room, including drywall repair, patching and ceiling work.

Finished interior door with wide painted casing, baseboard and crown molding

Trim and molding

Baseboards, casing, crown, interior doors and closet buildouts. The detail that dates a room fastest.

New landscape beds with layered plantings, stone edging and an ornamental tree

Landscaping

Grading, beds, plantings, sod and drainage correction around the foundation.

Curved paver walkway leading to a home entry with landscaped borders

Walkways and patios

Paver walks, driveways, patios, steps and retaining walls built to hold through an Illinois freeze cycle.

Newly installed air conditioning condenser on a concrete pad beside a home

AC replacement

Condenser and air handler replacement, correct sizing and ductwork correction.

Covered timber pergola over a paver patio with an outdoor kitchen and seating

Outdoor living

Decks, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and covered seating built off the back of the house.

Interior wall opened and reframed during a renovation

Demolition and framing

Interior tear-out, wall removal and new framing to open a space up or change its layout. Standalone, or the first phase of a bigger job.

How it works

Three steps,
no runaround

No pressure and no sales theater. We look at the work, put a real number on it, and then own the schedule until you sign off.

01

We walk the job

An estimator comes out, measures, and looks at what is actually behind the wall. Free, and no obligation to go further.

02

You get it in writing

A detailed proposal covering scope, materials, timeline and price. Line by line, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anything is signed.

03

We run the project

A project manager owns the schedule, coordinates the crews and works the punch list. One number to call from the first day to the final walkthrough.

Free estimate

Build your scope

Check everything the house needs. Send it over and an estimator will call to set up a walkthrough. Picking more than one is normal, and bundling usually brings the total down.
